Let's get the following value for the given statements and check which are the largest.
a) Half of 78.
We compute for the half of 78, which we divide 78 by 2. We have
[tex]\frac{78}{2}=39[/tex]b) A third of 114
A third of a number means we divide the number by 3. Dividing 114 by 3, we get
[tex]\frac{114}{3}=38[/tex]c) One-fifth of 190
One-fifth of a number means we divide the number by 3. Dividing 190 by 5, we get
[tex]\frac{190}{5}=38[/tex]As we can see on the results above, the largest is half of 78.
